Yeah same here. I think he'll get a lot more attention this year.

Walker may get a go in the wing with the addition of docherty but that still won't make pick walker.

I am really not sure about Andrew Walker. Im not sure why. Not for me

Yeah same here. I think he'll get a lot more attention this year.

Yeah it's funny, i'm a little uneasy about it too but loved how he looked last year, line breaker in every sense and very efficient. Kicks goals and had a great DT:SC ratio (86:106) too so possibly a CD fave as well.

How Daisy is used and how it affects his game (if at all) is probably the only thing that will sway me. That and not having a round 10 bye player in my starting backs.

There is an article I found and posted that Daisy is still in rehab and is not with the main carlton training group. After i read it i jumped ship.

As long as he gets a good preaseason in and is healthy Rd 1, a lock for me...then again, he's only a MID his year I heard

If he is only a MID he won't be worth it sadly. But then again he was always a risk with his injury history.

Yep that's the concern. Not worth it as a Mid only. Although, if VS are feeling nice (doubtful) and he gets a good discount then he could make a good cash cow.

Also it depends on SC's strategy regarding Rookies whether they follow DT's price structure. If it boils down to choice of choosing a 260K rookie vs 350K Daisy for last spot in MID, definitely Daisy a better option.

Agree 100%. Daisy is proven player compared to rookies. and those rookies from GWS may only get a handful of games like whitfield in 2013.

Any thoughts on Bob Murphy? Getting on a fair bit (Will be around 32 next season), but the dogs have an amazing draw so worth a look IMO.

Good thinking Nk. He did quite well this year and flew under the radar. Definitely worth a look.

If Daisy is 350k then he will definitely be a cash cow for my team, but I don't think he'll get a discount (and I won't pick him for more than 400k).

Maverick Weller a defender in 2014. Definitely interesting now. Can't see him playing anywhere but the midfield at the saints. Comes off a 4 game average of 60.2. Round 23 he netted 101 points though.

 

[av1jme]

Is Weller a rookie or is he on the senior list?
If he is not a nominated rookie, he's unlikely to see any senior action until an LTI occurs

He is a rookie, but he has been impressive at training and I can't see any of the other rookies playing ahead of him (Templeton, Shenton, Minchington, Holmes). I definitely think he will be nominated especially given his experience

 

[av1jme]

Yeah, that's great news. Definitely one to look out for in the preseason games

If he only played 4 games in 2013 he should be discounted right?

Should be, yeah. Discounted from a 60.2 average would be nice haha

 

[av1jme]

Yes....

Yes....

If he up graded because of a LTI and is discounted i will pick him. been hearing good reports from his training.
